Hi all,
About a week ago, I acquired a White Polyp Toadstool Leather(2" or so frag), it initially popped out quickly and stood straight up with Polyps fully extended but after about 2 days it decided to retract during the day, and has since only opened at morning and night, or just morning. I've tried adapting the light(Reef50 LED) to max out at 20-25% which is what it's typically at in the morning when the polyps do come out.
I imagine this has something to do with light levels, but if I lower them any further, the rest of my corals don't fully 'wake up' and it didn't seem to make a difference for the Toadstool. I could be overreacting, and it's just still adjusting to the new environment and lighting, but I figured I'd post in here to see if anyone else has had similar experiences acclimation Toadstools. All the other corals(LPS & Soft) are doing great, so I don't believe it has anything to do with water parameters at this point.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
